Thanks for Understanding
So I’ve been reading a lot of your more recent comments, and they’ve been really supportive! I just wanted to say, I really appreciate you respecting my decision to stay here, despite me being such an ass about everything. I don’t know if you guys’ll ever understand just how important this is to me. And to her.
I probably sound like a jerk asking this, but when will you be able to send Jules home? It’s just not easy. On her, I mean. Staying here.

Well, it seems that Ms. Juliet has a few remaining ecoes to find, as we have yet to receive authorization to commence refictionalization. I apologize for the stress this may cause, but she’ll have to wait a bit.
Hi Romeo,
It’s obvious to see how much you’ve grown from living in our world, and believe me when I say that I appreciate that. I hope you continue to mature as a person.
However, in regards to Juliet, I’m afraid we don’t quite know yet when we’ll be able to send her home. We’re working on a way to send her back, and we know how to do it, but the problem right now is a lack of information related to her. This information, which tells us what we need to know in order to send her home, is generated whenever someone from another world like her leaves a strong impact on our world. They tend to happen in moments of strong emotion, but we’re not totally sure of the causes. So there’s not too much we can do for now – it’s just a matter of patience on our part.
Best wishes,
S_o_S
We do have the means to send Juliet back, but there are a few things we lack. One of these things are called an ‘echo’. It’s hard to explain, but once we get it, we can send Juliet back. It’s not a long process, and we have confidence that we can have it done within the next few weeks.
Also, when the time comes, Romeo, you have to be sent back too. I don’t mean to sound mean, but reality will literally collapse if you don’t. But I’m not going to try to pressure you or change your mind. I wish you the best and I hope you enjoy your time here, because it won’t be long. And when the earthquakes, hurricanes, and typhoons come, and all of reality is coming apart, you will begin to rethink your position of wanting to stay here.
Congratulations on your job, man, and good luck with Vanessa.
No. I won’t go back with her. I can’t go back with her!
Bromeo… u you 2 should kiss already. =P
Don’t worry, Romeo, we’re working on sending Juliet back. There are still a few wrinkles to iron out, but we know exactly what to do now.
As for the rest– you should do what’s right for you. I hope Vanessa knows what a great guy she’s got in you.
…No chance you’ve got a brother I could meet, is there? Just kidding. (Mostly.)
Yours,
Qara-Xuan
Thanks. Doing what’s right, huh? I wonder, is there some cosmic law that says the right thing has to be the hard one? Because that law sucks.
I know the feeling, and you’re right; it’s the worst. I just spent most of my afternoon looking into how I can throw away what’s been my “dream” for ever so long, in order to do something where I’ll actually have a secure FUTURE. And… it really gets you down, doesn’t it?
Looks like we’ve got more in common than I thought, huh?
But you know what? I remain CONVINCED that if I keep on doing what’s “right”, no matter how much it stinks right now, well, I won’t regret it in the future. Hang in there, Romeo!
Thinking you all the virtual hugs in the world,
Qara-Xuan
That totally sucks. But yeah, you’re pretty much right. I have to make the decision I won’t regret. And for me, that’s staying here.
Ie if thre’s a cosmic law, Romeo, but there’s sure as heck a narrative one :/ Sorry this is so difficult.
Just how many times do you have to be told? If you stay, we all die. It’s that simple. That can’t really be what you want.
Whatever! Look, I have to stay, all right? That’s the only way.
Only way for what?
Sorry, if it’s a rude question, don’t answer. I just really want to know more about you. And I’m totally on your side, Romeo. I’ll ALWAYS be on your side.
Yours,
Qara-Xuan
The only way to ensure our demise is what it is. If that’s okay with you, which it seems to be, then you are the most selfish fool of any world. We tried to be nice, but that’s clearly failed. First chance we get, we’re sending you home whether you like it or not.
No, you can’t, damn it! This is the only way to make sure that Foregone Conclusion won’t happen! If I go back, there’s no way to guarantee we won’t somehow be Driven to Suicide by our Feuding Families and end up Together in Death. Let the damn earthquakes and typhoons take me, but I won’t let Juliet die!
Dear Romeo,
Did someone link you to tvtropes? Because that’s really mean to do– it’s like it sucks up all your free time (TVTropes Will Ruin Your Life and all that, right?).
That aside, I think your reasoning is incredibly sweet. *sigh* You’re such a good friend.
And everyone else– stop antagonizing Romeo! He’s a great guy, so if you can’t be nice then just– don’t say anything, okay?
Love,
Qara-Xuan
It totally was Pixelmage. <_<
Me stands by my claim taht it was a sweet idea.
You get it now? Don’t try to tell me you didn’t know. No matter what, I can’t go back with her.
I know you guys probably hate my guts right now, but… please don’t tell her. I don’t care if she never forgives me, but she can’t know that this was always my reason. She’ll never understand.
Well, I certainly don’t hate your guts, Romeo– quite the contrary. I think what you’re doing is noble, and brave, and incredibly compassionate. Your secret’s safe with me.
All the best,
Qara-Xuan
We understand your plight. We only want the best for you and Juliet. We know about your story and the Foregone Conclusion, and we’ve given the matter a lot of thought, trust us. We almost considered not sending you two back and rebelling against the man who told us that we must. But after much research, we’ve concluded that this doesn’t have to end badly for either of you. Stories can be changed, and we have that sort of power. One individual we sent back, who also suffered from a tragic ending, was successfully returned to his world, but with a new, much happier ending. And we can do the same for you and Juliet.
I also talked to my superior about sending Juliet back without you, and it does not appear to be possible. You and Juliet are a package deal, and sending only one of you back just isn’t feasible, which is to say, it wouldn’t work. Without you going back with you, you’re both stuck here, which is of course bad for us, and you, and her. Looks like the choice is still up to you, but with this information, maybe you’ll be able to make the wiser choice.
I was about to give you an update, but it seems, Wacky has beaten me to it. You are correct. From the moment we came across you, we were aware of what a return would mean. It upset many of us and caused arguments that are still going on more than a month later. We have still not resolved things with our leader.
I can guarantee you this, Romeo: Our group will not accept an ending that dooms either you or Juliet to your old fate. We still have plenty of emergency measures available to us, and we are not afraid to use them. If we send you, Juliet, or both back, it will be to a fate you can determine for yourselves.
For now, we cannot take action, so I will leave you. We will continue to do everything possible to get a solution to this mess, and if necessary, will begin our emergency contingencies.
I’ll speak with you again the moment something comes up.

Romeo… Don’t let them make you go home! They have no proof! They only have theories from an obviously cryptic creature.
If you truly do not want to go back, ask the Cabal for help. They are trying to stay in this world as well. I know I will do everything in my power to keep you here. Don’t cede to what might be a mischievous plan by what could possibly be a devious enemy.
The Cabal can help you stay here. We can help you. Don’t give up Romeo, please.
They can’t give you a happier ending with Juliet. They just can’t. The man who created you was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford and Lord of Chamberlain. He is dead. Consciousness in itself is the sole creator of you. No matter what were to be written in this world, unless it were declared or written in canon by Edward himself. It can’t come true. Most likely I am sure by now Sweeney Todd has reverted back to his original story which is sad but at least he feels better y’know?
Point being, what they are doing is making fan-fiction and pulling it off as canon. Without original canon, that “Paradise” story they create for you will be temporary at best and most likely you will eventually revert back to your original story. Vere was the original writer and as such OWNS you as a part of his consciousness. Without him, you can’t have a true happy ending, it doesn’t make sense.
Mr. A is directing the Metaguards to create an impossible ending out of improbabilities. Please don’t be swayed Romeo.
Sorry about the trolls, Romeo. They turn up on the internet; there’s nothing any of us can do about them.
Don’t let the trolls mess with your mind; just stay the strong, brave, handsome Romeo we all know you are. I trust you to know your own mind and heart.
Yours,
Qara-Xuan
Sup bro. R U going to, like, argue with tropers about canon? Gimme a break. Get ur ass to tvtropes, so that the hivemind can pwn it.
That is blatantly false and against everything we have been able to discern, even by ourselves. We have plenty of evidence from sources outside the ones you see, and I believe it is time for you to get acquainted with them, Julius. Please speak with me the next time we meet and I shall explain more.
tl;dr for you, Romeo, Julius is working on outdated information. If you would like a full explanation, I can give it to you. All you need to do is ask me. Otherwise, I can indeed guarantee that the concept of “Alternate Universes” running parallel to the original canon is perfectly possible. After all, how could you make the same mistake once you have already learned that it will come, and even know the events leading up to it? The ancient legends were pretty bad about prophecies fulfilling themselves by their existence, but I don’t think it’s POSSIBLE to mess up that badly, even for the GREEKS!
I am not a troll. Romeo, you must trust me, for your sake.
Good thing Sicon was here to clear up my outdated Information.
Romeo… Do what you think is right but unfortunately. I was wrong. It can’t be helped.
I am sorry dude.
As it turns out I do not understand reality as I previously thought. In fact my information has been outdated for awhile. As it turns out these fan-fics can help.
Go with them Romeo, that is all I can say.
